Happy Monday Quotes to Get You Through the Week

“Happy Monday” sounds like a contradiction in terms, and yet some people deliberately use the phrase in text messages, gifs, and memes. Is it because they are hopelessly optimistic or already retired? We can’t tell.

What we can say is that, like most wishes and expressions, it’s less about the day and more about the small, rebellious act of choosing to greet it with a smile—or a smirk. That’s up to you.
